Laser Skin Resurfacing

While there isn't a specific age requirement, many individuals consider laser resurfacing in their late 30s or early 40s when signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, start to become more noticeable. However, younger individuals with specific skin issues like acne scars or uneven skin texture may also benefit from laser resurfacing.

Individuals with active infections and skin conditions, such as cold sores, eczema, or acne flare-ups, should postpone treatment until the infection has resolved to reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women are typically advised to avoid laser treatments due to potential risks to the fetus or infant.

The extent of the rejuvenating effects varies depending on factors such as the type of laser used, treatment intensity, and individual skin response, but laser skin resurfacing can have significant age-reversing effects, particularly for concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture.

You can expect some degree of redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area-- your skin may also feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions diligently to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications.

Laser treatments are generally well-tolerated, but discomfort levels can vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance and the specific type of laser used. CC Plastics will take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process.
